Last year, the Netflix series "Designing Miami" premiere propelled Eilyn Jiménez to fame. She is a young Latina who became known for her talent in interior design and has become one of the most prominent personalities in her field this year. Following the success of her reality show, Eilyn has become one of the most prominent personalities in her field this year. She has used the spotlight to highlight the values and work of the Latino community, to which she belongs as the daughter of Cuban immigrants who sought a better future for her.
Eilyn's success is not just her own; she has achieved it alongside her husband, Raymond Jiménez, whom she married in October 2019. Raymond, from the Dominican Republic, has played a vital role in enhancing Eilyn's talent and launching the project that has established her as one of the most prominent businesswomen in her field.
"If you work hard, do good, have a good heart, do things with the right intentions and align yourself with the right people, that in itself will contribute," Jiménez said last year during her visit to the podcast Behind Her Empire.
The founder and creative director of Sire Design acknowledged that sharing her testimony as an entrepreneur is aimed at inspiring other members of the Latin community to achieve their goals: "If I can motivate someone to see that, if I can be living proof that, as you know, I am the daughter of immigrant parents, as a Latina, as a woman, as a young woman, all those associated things, I can do it, anyone can do it and feel that it is accessible," explained the designer.
Eilyn and Ray recently made a comeback on the small screen with the first season premiere of the reality show "Divided by Design." The show pits them against each other as they compete to win over the best clients in Miami. Eilyn Jiménez has been passionate about interior design since she was very young. This passion led her to study architecture at the Universidad Latina in Costa Rica, inspired by her father's construction business.
She started offering her interior design services through Groupon for $99 for a two-hour consultation. At that time, her client base grew, thanks to her minimalist style, making her one of the most sought-after designers in South Florida. The rest is history; now, Eilyn heads a company primarily comprised of women, mostly Latinas, and her monthly revenue exceeds a million dollars.
Unlike many others, Eilyn demonstrates how pleasure can be blended with business through her great partnership with her husband. In addition to love, they share a passion for the profession. "There are so many people like us who will be able to see what a Latin family looks like, and how all of that intersects with our lives and our careers," she told Today last year, about how Latinos are being represented on the small screen.
"It was necessary for me to talk about waiting to become a mother on camera, because it is still a taboo subject. We are in 2022 and it still seems that a woman is not complete until she has children and I don't think that is the case. I think you could choose to have your career or you could choose to have a different approach and do things differently instead of getting married and having children."
The designer emphasizes the significance of showcasing how a Latin woman operates in the North American business world, which men often dominate. During the show, Eilyn addresses the topic of motherhood and openly shares her stance on this issue.
